...Harvard Crimson has recently confessed in a burst of lyric journalism that "If you notice an extra sprig of parsley on your potatoes or a red cherry on your grapefruit, you will know that Harvard's first dictitian, Miss Ruth E.

The fountain, whose lyric, lolloping naiads and tritons, by famed Swedish Sculptor Carl Milles, represent the meeting of the Mississippi and the Missouri, is known officially as the Meeting of the Waters, locally as Wedding in a Nudist Colony. Last week a crowd of 2,000 saw the fountain unveiled at last. Speakers were Mayor Bernard Dickmann, Mrs. Aloe (widow of the late Alderman Louis P. Aloe), Sculptor Milles himself.
